Paint Correction and Ceramic Coating In The Lehigh Valley

Removing The Paint Imperfections and Revealing the Gloss


Our Paint Correction service removes 60-80% of swirls, scratches, and imperfections with a 2-step cutting and polishing process.

Some deep scratches may not be fully removed due to the condition of the paint. Our goal is to achieve excellent paint condition, not 100% perfection.

For a flawless finish, commit to a 2-step paint correction. Proper maintenance is key after the service to keep your vehicle looking its best. Incorrect washing and drying tools can quickly reintroduce swirls and scratches to the paint.

Consider a Ceramic Coating for even more protection.

Why Does the Scratches and Marring happen?


Comparison of a car's paint before and after correction, showing the left side with improved clarity and gloss, and the right side with scratches and dullness.

Have you seen your paint under the sun and seen cobweb scratching or scratches? These are called swirl marks, the blemishes that prevent your vehicle from sparkling.

Because of automatic car washes, cheap towels, or wash mitts that are aggressive on your paint, which is introducing flaws. 

This does take polishing skills and a dual-action polisher to create that swirl-free surface. We have one- or two-step paint correction; the prices vary for the condition and services you would like. 

JD’s Paint Correction Process

1. Clean Wheels, Tires, & Fenders

Starting with a thorough cleaning of the wheel faces, wheel barrels, tires and inner fenders

5. Tape off Areas

We’ll tape off the trim, chrome and sensitive areas so we can decrease the chances of staining and damaging areas

6. Step 1: Compound

This is the intensive stage because this will remove the majority of the swirls and scratches from your paint

7. Step 2: Polishing

This is the second step to bring back the shine and clarity of the paint and cut the leftover compound phase

8. Wipe Down

We’ll wipe down the paint to remove the polish and ensure that the paint is bare to remove the residue and dust

9. Apply Protection

Depending on type of protection you choose which are PPF or Ceramic Coating

10. Dress Tires, and Trim

To give the final details, we will dress the exterior trim to give the extra pop that is a nice finish on the trim, tire and fenders

11. Cleaning Exterior Windows

Cleaning all exterior windows leaving a streak free finish

12. Final Details

This last step we will check our work with correction, ceramic coating and touch up any final details that need attention

This process can take up to 8 to 18 hours to complete, depending on the vehicle's desired look, size, and condition. 


  • “I honestly didn’t think my car’s paint could look this good again. The swirl marks and light scratches were completely gone, and the gloss is unreal. It looks better than when I bought it. Super professional and took the time to explain the process. Highly recommend for anyone serious about their vehicle’s appearance.”

    — Mark T.

  • “My truck had years of wash damage and fading, and I was ready to give up on the paint. After the paint correction, it looks deep, shiny, and smooth again. You can tell real care and skill went into the work. Worth every dollar.”

    — Chris D.

  • “I had paint correction done before listing my car for sale and it made a huge difference. The finish was mirror-like, and I’m convinced it helped the car sell faster. Professional, on time, and extremely detailed work.”
